Not sure if manufacturers used anything else but real rubber on saws older than whenever, not a clue, but I'm sure it would be documented on OWWM if...

Good call to wait it out and look for a more modern design with more adjustability than the very old Meber, and one with cast iron wheels, IMO. ...

Seems we don't even get the option of buying the whole Master rip kit in the EU. Should someone find a suitable high/low sliding extrusion like on...

That particular Meber has no hub for wheel adjustment at the back, perhaps there might be adjustability there within the chassis. but I doubt it. ...

An ACM SNAC 440 or re-badged ala Laguna/Felder/Griggio/Bridgewood 440 mm wheeled saw would be my suggestion so. ...

I suggest you might consider looking at the used three phase market, as often used is about half new, and three phase, half that again, in perfect...

Possibly worth mentioning Scott + Sargeant have locations in the UK, but also in Ireland (which is still in EU) should that matter regarding postage...

Presuming one would have/get a welder if this work is envisioned, so stability of the machine could be sorted out. Here's a thread which may be of...

Might though, if we're possibly talking about the next gen of SNAC... and whether the OP is aware of the possible challenges sorting out another...

2hp motors on most of the ones I've seen, though never seen an ACM so old.. I think you'd have to seek out a grey Felder 540, or Laguna should they...

My machine takes a single belt, so just a warning that changing to new, (of the same brand/size)...that it may not have as much stretch as the old....

My troubleshooting started off getting thrown in the deep end, so belt alignment isn't something to dismiss. The moment I mixed a new belt of the...

I wasn't convinced at all, of exactly the method described,(on the ozzy forum), and can thoroughly recommend taking footage of your setup, as it...

Thinking about this, you could do that with the laser also if you wished, as mentioned mounted onto the wheel shaft/against bearing race... but you...

How about a question instead?... Who can match the results John Teneyck is getting, as I've not seen the proof myself. i.e for instance, who...

Now you have it, the tires are both crowned and flat... It just depends on your point of view, and whether you use a carbide tipped blade or...

The ones who make the saws will give different answers, to the ones who market them. ;) If you wanted a better answer, then you'd have to be more...

I couldn't say what would be tolerable, having had the impression the Italian saws all had flat profiles whilst buying new blades, as I've only...

I'd be very surprised if the blade stayed put at the very top where I've pointed, without the wheels being in alignment. If you've got genuine...

The co-planar adjustment under tension is smoother regarding the drive belt(s), though not to be confused with blade tracking thereafter. ...

There's two ways of checking east/west wheel alignment, i.e.. in order to have the wheels not pointing off to either side of the machine, and both...

There's quite a few Centauro 600 machines out there. Discounting the SP line, which if concerning the bare bones of things, are much the same as...

Vielen Dank, Joe, das ist das beste Dokument, das ich je gesehen habe! :D So glad you posted this, I've been glossing over some very interesting...

Honing mine a conservative 50 /51 degrees, I haven't really found a down side for the two planes I use, (not my rougher set jack-scrubby plane) ...

Your fingers Warren, though worth mentioning the HSE advice doesn't particularly stipulate what type/shape of stick you have to use, just noting...

I've only got a look at an untouched cap iron/chipbreaker recently, and was under the impression that the leading edge of them were somewhat...

Good to know that, I thought it was me who was seen as being unreasonable, concerning the TOS. Cheers Jim. All the best Tom

Seems that the recent Sawstop thread about such tech becoming possibly mandatory in the New York Times got removed? Seeing as the thread got few...
